What are (u,v,ω,T,φ), respectively? -- The Anome 15:49, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- u and v are the zonal (east and west) and meridoinal (north and south) velocities (I think), ω is the vertical velocity, T is the temperature, and φ is the geopotential.
- Also, f is the Coriolis parameter, which takes into account the fact that we're dealing with a non-intertial coordinate system.
- I'll double check the relavent texts before adding the definitions. --Loren
